Congrats Bob -- I've ordered mine! Gave me chills reading your account of finding the torso and juxtaposing it with memories from your grandmother's kitchen. But that's what it was like. I'm sure it will be a good read. -- Lou

Indiana Brother -- thanks for your work at Ground Zero. Please send me your mailing address to lou@louangeli.com and I'll send you a DVD that we recently completed - "Answering The Call: Ground Zero's Volunteers." It's a very positive piece.

Lou
